A NAMELESS CASE.

My case has been very curious one for
about thirteen years. At intervals of about
one week / would be attacked with spells OF
severe and most excruciating pain, always
commencing in the region OF my kidneys.
The pain would then go upwards ana Affect
my body and head, and seemed to penetrate
my very eye-bals, creating the most intense
suffering, lasting about eight hours each
spell.

out benefit. Several doctors treated my
case, but none relief. l finally used B. b. d.
as an experiment, and TO my utter astonisli-
ment all pain and suffering vanished after
using three doses. To the present time l
have nsed three bottles, and not pain has
ever returned. i do not know what was
the matter, neither could my physician name
the complaint. The b. b. b. acted finely
and powerfully upon my kidneys; my APP

THE UNDERWRITERS
Demand Fire Alarms and the Remov-
al of Chief Kahn.

The Fire Underwriters Association,
of Texas. held a meeting yesterday
afternoon and after general discus
sion passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the chairman OF this
meeting appoint committee oil hve
TO confer with the Dallas city council
and demand the introduction within
ninety days from Feb. l, 1887, OF a
COMPLETE and satisfactory electric fire
alarm system. with not less than fifty
properly distributed stations, and of
one additional fire steamer, properly
manned and equipped, to be located
within the district bounded by Pacific
ayenu, Commerce, Howard and Mar
tin streets: and unless laid demands
be complied with within the specified
time, that the present rates on all
property within the limits OF the CITY
of Dallas be increased 70 cents.
Resolved, further, That ii is the
sense of this meeting that the present
chief of the Dallas fire department is
wholly inefficient, aud that the said
committee urge upon the city council
the necessity OF replacing MIN by u
capable and experienced man.
Resolved, further, That the sald
committee request OF the city council
thorough investigation relative to
the management of the fire III this
city on the light of Jan. 20. 1887
The chairman appointed on the
committee to confer with the city
council Messrs. Trezevant, Pollak,
Stewart, Murphy and Dunn.
The meeting then adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the chairman.
The HERALD is Of the opinion that
the city council will comply with the
underwriters request and establish a
fire alarm system throughout the city.
This is imperative, and must be done.
So far as the underwriters demand
for the removal Of Chief Kahn is con-
cerned, what occurred the night of
the fire cannot be laid at his
door, as it was the fault
of the system of giving alarms. When
the engine pulled out there was no
light and no one to direct them, and
though he may be inefficient on gen
cral principles, he was not derelict in
his duty, or inefficient the night of the
fire. However, this is matter to be
investigated by the city council. III
an inefficient officer comes to light he
should be dealt with accordingly.
